Cricket is considered a religion in India and many have dreamed of representing their country at least once in the blue jersey. However, achieving that dream requires years of handwork, dedication, talent, and luck. Batting stalwart Virat Kohli is one such player who rose to global superstardom with his on-field heroics. He has dominated the game since the early days of his career and continues to deliver match-winning innings for whichever team he plays for.

Having achieved most of the records to his name, the 34-year-old is undoubtedly one of the greatest cricketers India has ever produced. However, people often measure a man's success without considering what it took for them to reach that level. Kohli had always desired to be an Indian cricketer, and he worked tirelessly to achieve his goal.

An image of a scrapbook shared by one of Virat Kohli's friends is now going viral on social media, proving that the former Indian skipper dreamed of representing his nation since childhood. The veteran batter filled out the answers in 2002-2003, and in the ambition section, Kohli mentioned he wants to become an Indian cricketer, proving that dreams do come true.

Fans are in awe after seeing his desire to become an Indian cricket player from a very young age. "Many have this dream but only a few can represent India in blue jersey,” one user commented. "You become what you think," another user wrote. Kohli has also written the name of Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan in the admirable person section.

With five half-centuries and 364 runs from nine matches at an average of 45.50 and a strike rate of 137.87, the right-hander is the second-highest run-scorer for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season. The former RCB captain is only a few runs away from becoming the first player in IPL history to reach 7000 runs.

Meanwhile, the two-time World Championship winner for India was recently fined 100% of his match fee for a heated verbal altercation with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) players, and mentor Gautam Gambhir on Monday. The incident that happened following the RCB vs LSG game stunned the cricketing fraternity.

Here's how fans reacted to the image: 

“After becoming Cricketer I will abuse on field and being disrespectful to Juniors and Legends of the game”
